Our top stories: They've passed the inspection, but a warning

tonight over budget cuts to public health and fears of another fatal

:00:07.:00:09.

A new specialist neonatal centre in North Wales is a small

:00:10.:00:19.

Cuts to Environmental Health budgets in Wales will raise the likelihood

:00:20.:00:39.

That's according to the man who led the inquiry into the E-coli outbreak

:00:40.:00:45.

Professor Hugh Pennington made his comments after

:00:46.:00:52.

the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health claimed

:00:53.:00:55.

that the impact of further job losses could be catastrophic.

:00:56.:00:59.

Inspecting premises like this butcher 's near Haverfordwest

:01:00.:01:15.

is just one function carried out by

:01:16.:01:17.

This shop gets a clean bill of health and it's not always

:01:18.:01:21.

On occasion we come across premises which are infested

:01:22.:01:24.

You can come across a premises which was swimming in sewage.

:01:25.:01:38.

Officers like Peter are responsible as well for monitoring a quality,

:01:39.:01:43.

dog control and public health and other duties.

:01:44.:01:54.

According to the Chartered Institute for Environmental Health

:01:55.:01:55.

lots of stuff across Wales could compromise the health

:01:56.:01:58.

and well-being of the most vulnerable members of society.

:01:59.:02:24.

We know that from experience of the E.

:02:25.:02:26.

My concern is it so -- only a small step between cup

:02:27.:02:30.

and love and you have another rig of food poisoning.

:02:31.:02:32.

We need enough staff to make sure that standards are being monitored

:02:33.:02:35.

and that people know they are being monitored

:02:36.:02:37.

so they don't take short cuts and strain get

:02:38.:02:39.

It is an alarming prospect that Julie Jones.

In 2005 person was among the children who

:02:43.:02:44.

fell ill after eating E. Coli infected meat from a butcher who are

:02:45.:02:47.

In every trade corners are cut but it's never going to change

:02:48.:02:51.

They have to be finances in place to allow environmental health

:02:52.:02:55.

officers to monitor these people to prevent

:02:56.:02:57.

That is always going to be somebody out there who thinks they can

:02:58.:03:01.

Back in Pembrokeshire cuts of ?300,000

:03:02.:03:03.

are being made to the budget that the council here says it

:03:04.:03:06.

We have to make decisions by budget. We can't touch some budgets because

:03:07.:03:10.

they are protected. In Pembrokeshire we are trying

:03:11.:03:11.

to make sure the services of quality That means food outlets like this

without regular inspections. The government says councils have

:03:19.:03:20.

acknowledged their funding settlements are better-than-expected

:03:21.:03:22.

and it's up to individual authorities how they used

:03:23.:03:24.

the money available to them. A state of the art neonatal centre

blighted by the recruitment problems which have affected

maternity services. Little Seren is ten days old,

:03:43.:03:44.

born prematurely at just 27 weeks. Her father, Alex, has had to travel

:03:45.:03:51.

from Bodedern on Anglesey to get to Glan Clwyd, a journey

:03:52.:03:56.

of over an hour. But other North Wales parents

the specialist, that isn't a word to explain the power of what they

:04:13.:04:16.

can do. The Health Minister has approved

:04:17.:04:22.

a provisional business case for the centre which

:04:23.:04:25.

could open in two years. It gives confidence to people

in North Wales that this specialist part of the jigsaw because people

:04:28.:04:30.

are to travel much further away, that will now be

of the past, doctors at Glan Clwyd say the SURNICC will be a leading

centre of excellence that is already attracting a lot

:05:08.:05:09.

of interest from medics. Recruitment in medicine

:05:10.:05:11.

is a problem wherever you are. The development and the new money

a score of 16-0, it was disappointing.

Rob Howley admitted the bench deserves a chance,

for the final Six Nations game against Italy on Saturday.

The team will be announced tomorrow as Wales now aim to finish

:07:43.:07:45.

Let's see what the weather has in store Derek Brockway

:07:46.:07:53.

Hello. Spring has finally worried in Wales. Porthmadog was the warmest

:07:54.:08:10.

place in the UK yesterday with a of 16 Celsius. There is plenty more dry

:08:11.:08:15.

weather to come this week. I cannot promise sunshine every day. There

:08:16.:08:18.

will be cloud around and we haven't quite seen the last of Jack Frost.

:08:19.:08:23.

Tonight it is a dry story. A few clouds will spread from the east

:08:24.:08:29.

overnight. Lowest temperatures are two Celsius, with some places in the

:08:30.:08:33.

south and West Bowling close to freezing, with a slight frost. A

:08:34.:08:37.

chilly start tomorrow morning but it is looking dry again. A few clouds

:08:38.:08:44.

around, four example in Powys. Some sunshine in Swansea. Across the rest

:08:45.:08:49.

of the UK mixed fortunes. Central and eastern England rather cloudy

:08:50.:08:53.

with the odd spot of drizzle and the low cloud and Fog in England. The

:08:54.:08:59.

best of the sunshine tomorrow is in the West. Still a breeze in the

:09:00.:09:02.

south tomorrow with light wind in the north and a high of 11 Celsius

:09:03.:09:07.

in Belfast. In Wales tomorrow afternoon it is looking dry with a

:09:08.:09:11.

bit more cloud around them today but still some bright spells and

:09:12.:09:17.

sunshine. A high of 12 degrees in Aberystwyth. A bit of change on

:09:18.:09:21.

Wednesday, more cloud and thick the odd spot of drizzle. During the day

:09:22.:09:26.

it should brighten up with some sunshine. The chart for Thursday

:09:27.:09:30.

shows high pressure firmly in charge, keeping these low-pressure

:09:31.:09:34.

systems at bay over the Atlantic. The outlook for Thursday and Friday,

:09:35.:09:40.

little change, dry with variable cloud and some sunshine. Still a

:09:41.:09:43.

risk of frost places overnight. It looks like we're in for a dry

:09:44.:09:47.

weekend and dry into next week as well.

:09:48.:09:54.

Sounds good. More on all of today's stories on our website.
